The Eighty-Ninth Chapter: Fallen Flowers Have No Intention, Flowing Water Has No Feeling

  During the last class break in the morning, Zhao Liang came over to Li Xiaobai and reminded him not to forget what he said yesterday at noon today.

  Got it, got it, Li Xiaobai responded randomly with such shouts in his mouth.

  Is this guy eager to make a fool of himself?

  One in ten thousand chance, I really caught up with Han Dan, would he go crazy?

  "It's strange, wasn't he ignoring you in the dorm? " Guo Jing turned his pale face over, saying with a hint of doubt, "Why did he look for you, could it be that he still hasn't given up?"

  As he spoke, Guo Jing glanced at Xia Xiang'er with a seemingly careless expression.

  It's not just her who thinks so, many people in the class secretly took a look at Xia Xiang'er.

  In their opinion, Zhao Liang must be thinking of taking the opportunity to attract Xia Xiang'er's attention, or asking Li Xiao Bai to pass on a message.

  Xia Xiner didn't even glance over, she was too busy flipping through her extracurricular books with Li Xiaobai to spare a look in this direction.

  "Hey, Guo Jing, I'm just asking you casually," Li Xiaobai didn't plan to answer this question, hesitated for a moment and asked, "You say, if you like a girl, how should you pursue her?"

  "What's wrong," Guo Jing was startled, then pretended to lean back and said, "Do you want me to give you a good guy card like Chen Huan that fool?"

  Even if I don't like you, can't you just not make such a disgusting face from the start?

  It's understandable for girls to be a little self-loving, but when it gets out of hand, boys can get really frustrated. Please think about it!

  "What's on your mind," Li Xiaobai said irritably, "just that, a friend suddenly asked me to entrust him, asking how to pursue girls, and I was also at a loss for a while. In this regard, you should have some experience, right?"

  Wanted to say very experienced, but hesitated for a moment and used a euphemistic expression instead.

  "What experience do I have," Guo Jing straightened his back slightly, "I'm not a boy, and I've never pursued girls, usually it's the boys who pursue me."

  It was already said with great satisfaction later on.

  "It's precisely because of this that you know a thing or two," Li Xiaobai said, not wanting to let her continue being self-absorbed. "Isn't that board-inch guy your boyfriend? The process of him pursuing you should still be fresh in your memory, right? Can you tell me a bit about how he pursued you?"

  "Who's this Ittetsu guy?"

  "That one we met in Ocean World, what was it called...Hao or something..."

  "Bastard, Zhang Hao is not my boyfriend," Guo Jing angrily retorted, "He's just my classmate. Li Xiaobai, if you slander me again, I...I'll...draw on your clothes with pen nibs every day."

  Zhang Hao had pursued her, that was still during the summer vacation of the first year of high school, but she didn't like him herself, so of course she would send him a card. Li Xiaobai actually slandered her for having a boyfriend, his eyes were really terrible.

  It's unclear whether what Guo Jing said was true or not, but that wasn't the point Li Xiaobai cared about. He just wanted to have a bit of an idea, and planned to follow along and pretend to be something he's not.

  Of course, in the process, he deliberately pretended to be a little worse, which also helped Zhao Liang. Unexpectedly, Xiao Niu seemed very angry, with an expression of "don't bother me again", and Li Xiaobai had no choice but to give up.

  But, compared to drawing a calabash according to a gourd and crossing the river by feeling for stones, he is also very skilled at it. Anyway, it's not really pursuing, and being too concerned about it would be strange. Thinking of this, Li Xiaobai didn't take it to heart and took out his textbook to prepare for class.

  "You don't seem to have any friends, do you?" At this point, Xia Xiner suddenly turned her head around, looking at Li Xiaobai with a face full of disdain. "I'm actually quite curious who asked you."

  You probably don't have any friends either, expressing contempt in a casual tone, and yet you're not even slightly ashamed, how incredibly strong your heart must be.

  Suddenly I somewhat understand Zhao Liang's psychology, if he were to tell her that he wants to pursue a girl, he would definitely be ridiculed.

  At that time, two deskmates were delighted.

  That's right, the more familiar you are with someone, the harder it is to say some things. With Zhao Liang, it's because we're good friends. But with Li Xiaobai, it's because we live together every day. Although the two kinds of familiarity have different meanings, the consequences are similar.

  "It's none other than Zhao Liang, who else could it be?" Li Xiaobai said half-jokingly.

  As expected, as soon as this name was mentioned, Xia Xiner immediately lost interest.

  On the other hand, Li Xiaobai also noticed that Guo Jing's small ears had returned to normal.

  As expected, if the truth were to be told, I would definitely be ridiculed by those two girls. Xia Xiang'er might just laugh it off, but as for Guo Jing, she would surely spread the news far and wide.

  Even though I don't really care about it, but being pointed at and talked about all day without any reward is just not something to be happy about.

  However, isn't it a bit despicable to pursue a girl when you don't truly like her? It goes against my values no matter how I think about it. Fortunately, this is destined to be an unrequited and heartless pursuit, so it won't hurt Han Dan at least. Thinking this way makes me feel a little better.

  Class 7 of High School Year 2. After lunch, Li Xiaobai walked slowly towards Han Dan's classroom.

  From Class 3 to Class 7 is not a long distance, but the students in Class 7 like to go downstairs on the other side of the stairs, and they rarely met each other, which is also why Li Xiaobai didn't really remember Han Dan.

  They should have left by now, so I'll just come back tonight then.

  Just as I was about to leave after comforting myself, Han Dan happened to come out of the classroom. They say that red flowers need green leaves to set them off, but Han Dan seemed much kinder than that; there wasn't a single person by her side, and it didn't seem like she was the type of girl with many friends either.

  Fortunately, it was like this, if there were too many friends, Li Xiaobai would not know how to get along with them.

  Even if there was no one around her, Li Xiaobai was a little dazed when she saw Han Dan.

  Sending text messages is ultimately different from face-to-face conversation.

  When she saw Li Xiaobai, Han Dan was also stunned for a moment, but that was all.

  She didn't even think about saying hello, she walked around Li Xiaobai and was about to leave directly.

  Is he transparent to this extent? It seems like he can't hide himself at all.

  "Ah, Han Dan..."

  After Han Dan had walked a few steps away, Li Xiaobai finally called out her name.

  Now I really regret agreeing to Zhao Liang's request, no wonder he said that pursuing girls requires courage. Indeed, it is necessary to put down self-esteem, face and other images, and still have to put on a smiling face when the girl is angry... Although Li Xiaobai doesn't think his skin is very thick, but in the office, subconsciously having thick skin and intentionally pretending to have thick skin are not the same thing.

  Subconsciously having a thick skin, but can't feel it myself. However, having a thick skin is preparing for the fact that I won't be able to get through this hurdle myself.

  Speaking of which, I often unconsciously have a thick skin, right? Shouldn't be, anyway, didn't feel it.

  Han Dan stopped in his tracks and finally turned around.

  "Li Xiaobai, is there something I can help you with?"

  "Why don't... we go eat together..." Being stared at by the girl, Li Xiaobai even started to speak incoherently.

  "Why? There must be a reason, right?" Han Dan stopped in her tracks, neither responding nor directly refusing.

  Why are all girls so different? Li Xiaobai was a bit confused, did he really not have the talent to deal with girls?

  "Well, I just happened to be passing by here and saw you. We can consider ourselves acquaintances now. Since we've run into each other, let's take the opportunity to grab a meal together or something." Li Xiaobai said after some deliberation.

  It should be fine saying it this way, although deliberately taking the stairs on this side is a bit strange.

  Deliberately thickening his skin also made him somewhat uncomfortable, indeed, his own cultivation was still not enough.

  "Are you like this with every girl you've just met?" Han Dan said somewhat disdainfully, "This isn't like the you from yesterday."

  "What was I like yesterday?" Li Xiaobai asked curiously.

  "Do I really have to say it?" Han Dan looked at Li Xiaobai uncertainly.

  No need, Li Xiaobai bluntly refused. It seemed that Han Dan was still concerned about his majestic appearance just now.

  It doesn't matter, as long as the result is good, then the process can be ignored.

  If the result is very poor, isn't it unconvincing for you to criticize the process as rough?

  Speaking of this, I thought of a speech in high school.

  Due to his exceptionally outstanding political achievements, the teacher asked him to give lectures in various classes. Because he was slightly complacent, standing on the podium, Li Xiaobai began to speak fluently, reciting many knowledge points about politics that he could easily memorize. So, whenever others were reciting during self-study class, he would just glance over a few times and then start singing songs.

  It didn't matter at that time, the classroom atmosphere was very good, and many people burst out laughing. The politics teacher even praised him a few words.

  But heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, only once, his own political achievements fell out of the top ten in the grade, he was called to the office and scolded by the teacher, saying what are you talking about, still singing in class, having some achievements makes you complacent, look at how you did this time...

  In short, criticism is acceptable only when the consequences are terrible.

  When the result is good, isn't it nitpicking to emphasize the inadequacies of the process?

  "Han Dan, aren't you leaving yet..." Just then, another boy came out of the classroom. He locked the door and invited him in a very natural tone, "How about we go eat together?"

  Look at others being so natural, Li Xiaobai felt a little annoyed, and his face was given some thickness.

  "No need," Han Dan also naturally refused, "I still have something to do, you go first."

  The man let out a sound of appreciation, his eyes scanning Li Xiaobai's entire body up and down before flashing a charming smile, then he left.

  "Hey, are you agreeing or not? I'm getting a bit hungry."

  Having waited for a long time without getting an answer, Li Xiaobai couldn't care about so much anymore and directly said.

  "That's okay, but I'll go get some water first, can I?" Han Dan said, lifting up her thermos.

  Although there is bottled water in the classroom, it seems she doesn't drink much.
